Beaver Stadium, affectionately known as the “White House” due to its massive white-out games, is located in University Park, Pennsylvania, and is home to the Penn State Nittany Lions football team. Often referred to as Happy Valley by Penn State fans. As one of the largest stadiums in North America, Beaver Stadium has specific rules and policies for fans to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. One such policy is the Beaver Stadium bag policy, which is designed to improve security and expedite entry into the stadium.
Beaver Stadium Bag Policy
The Beaver Stadium bag policy is quite specific and allows for three types of bags to be brought into the stadium:
